Borrego Springs Base Camp

It was great place to stay at for our month long exploration of the Borrego Springs area! Very pet friendly as my dog enjoyed playing with the property owners dog. Close to town if we needed anything. I would stay here again if I need to return to the area. I really enjoyed the time there!

Great studio with everything we need

My husband and I stayed in Kay's studio for 4 nights in January. It was convenient to town and to the orienteering events we attended near the Slot canyon in the park. The studio was clean and had everything we needed and Kay was the perfect host. Her two dogs were friendly and fun.

Working in the desert

A project in the Anza-Borrego desert meant I had to find a place of rest where I could cook and not worry about security. After the flower tourists left I found this place and couldn’t be happier with it.

Peaceful, Beautiful Getaway

My partner and I had a wonderful time at Kay's casita! It's the perfect size for two people with a great kitchen and many cooking supplies so you don't need to eat out. The bed was so, so comfortable. The bathroom was great and had a beautifully tiled shower. We really enjoyed having dinner on the patio with all of the lights off and enjoying the dark sky. It was a wonderful break from everyday life. Kay's dogs were very welcoming and we fed the horse and donkey many carrots. This might be my favorite rental experience ever. We will definitely be back!

Cute Little Casita

A perfect little place just far enough out of town to be absolutely quiet. but close enough to Borrego Springs to really enjoy it. Great spot from which to explore the desert. Extremely clean and well maintained. Tiny deduction due to the recent removal of the mature trees mentioned in the description. But new ones in the ground and should be even better.

The casita on the ranch

Broken Brain in Busted Borrego Springs Bungalow

If I were to relate this rental experience to a film, I feel my journey would best corolate to the 2015 film THE VISIT, for the visit to Kay’s “ranch” made me run home and hug my mom for days after I kissed the ground of my entire apartment. What appears as a relaxing and welcoming invitation soon takes a turn for the dangerous and the hostess is quick to exhibit unprofessional and uncomfortable behavior. Overall, Kay was a great exhibit of what happens when one does not take their medication or mental health seriously, for her texts and conversations soon turned violent, dismissive, and demanding. She became far too comfortable around us, and was improper with my male guest. We decided to leave early after Kay informed us on a Saturday evening during a heatwave, as we were arriving with groceries ready to cook dinner, that power was completely gone. We also had no air conditioning, water, internet, or phone service. She had no generator or back up electricity. Kay only offered me an ice pack and four water bottles for 2 adults and 2 dogs. I am disabled and my health took a turn for the worst due to the lack of safe and proper accomodations. I became sick and had to resort to using towels and sheets to clean my mess since Kay did not provide us with soap or water. Kay was insidious and accused me of playing the “disability card.” Kay even texted me that her job was more important than my health and continued to turn the water and power on and off after I called VRBO and asked about leaving early. At the end we left running and screaming like the survivors at the end of a horror movie. We left traumatized but thankful to be alive, and vowing never to return.

Peaceful desert getaway

I wanted a relaxing weekend with my dogs and the little casita on a small horse ranch in the desert was perfect. The cabin was very dog friendly and there was even a well-built dog run for the dogs to stretch their legs. We went in the hot part of the year, but the air conditioning was good and the morning sunrise on the large patio was beautiful.

Great casita

This cute little casita was just perfect, set about three miles from “downtown” Borrego and just a few miles from the state park. The casita was clean and cozy and we really enjoyed the patio for morning coffee. Kay, the owner, was very attentive to our needs and even let us play with her dogs and pet her horses and donkey. Just a great place for our trip to the desert!!! Highly recommend!!
